Kaiser rolls part deüx


Tried the kaiser roll recipe again last night. Still having some bumps in the road with beating the egg whites to a stiff peak - sans an electric mixer. I've read that you should beat your egg whites in a copper bowl and add a few drops of lemon juice and/or cream of tartar. The acidity helps to stiffen the whites. Whew! My forearm got a workout last night and I must say- kneading dough for 20 minutes is also an excellent way to sculpt yourself some sexy shoulders! The rolls came out fabulous this time... I even tried the new technique for shaping them. This picture was taken a minute or two out of the oven. I am a domestic goddess, eh? ;)
